Bibi Graetz, Toscana IGT (Italy) 2010

I loved the 2009 version, and this is a little better still.  Explosive aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, tobacco, graphite and sweet spice lead to a mouth-filling display of like flavors with solid acidity pushing everything through the long finish.  This requires a meal — I’m thinking Bistecca alla Fiorentina.  If you aren’t easily offended, Google the name of the wine to learn the meaning.  Contains 90% Sangiovese, 7% Caniaolo and 3% Colorino.
